Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, we use a rule where we keep the first number, change the sign, and flip the second number.

3 1/3 must be converted to an improper fraction before we can do this, though.

3 1/3 is 10/3 because we multiply 3 by the denominator, also 3, and then add one, so 10/3.

Now we can divide. Remember 4 is the same thing as 4/1

10/3 ÷ 4/1

Keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and divide by flip the second fraction.

It ends up looking like 10/3 x 1/4

Multiply: 10 x 1 and 3 x 4

It's 10/12, but we can simplify that by dividing both the top and the bottom by 2.

The final answer is 5/6

What is the quotient of 2 1/9÷3 4/5

Karolina [17]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 \frac{1}{9} \div 3 \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{2 \times 9 + 1}{9} \div \frac{3 \times 5 + 4}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{18 + 1}{9} \div \frac{15 + 4}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{19}{9} \div \frac{19}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{19}{9} \times \frac{5}{19} \\ \\ = \frac{5}{9}$

What makes b in the equation true 3/8 X 8/b

Gala2k [10]

$\frac{3}{8} * \frac{8}{b} = \frac{3}{1} * \frac{1}{b}$ (I crossed simplify)

Next cross multiply;

3b = 1

b = 1/3

To check if the statement is true just substitute the value of b in the equation;

3b = 1

3(1/3) = 1

1 = 1

Given that P = (-7, 16) and Q = (-8, 7), find the component form and magnitude of vector QP .

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a)The component form is

$\vec {QP}=\binom{ - 1}{ - 8}$

b)The magnitude is √65

c) <2,14>

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that:

$\vec {QP}=\vec {OP}-\vec{OQ}$

We substitute the position vectors to get:

$\vec {QP}=\binom{ - 8}{7} - \binom { - 7}{15}$

We subtract the corresponding components to obtain:

$\vec {QP}=\binom{ - 8 - - 7}{7 - 15}$

This gives:

$\vec {QP}=\binom{ - 8 + 7}{7 - 15}$

This simplifies to:

$\vec {QP}=\binom{ - 1}{ - 8}$

The magnitude of a vector in the component form:

$\binom{x}{y}$

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }$

This means:

$|\vec {QP}|= \sqrt{ {( - 1)}^{2} + {( - 8)}^{2} }$

This simplifies to:

$|\vec {QP}| = \sqrt{ 1 + 64 }$

$|\vec {QP}| = \sqrt{ 65 }$

c) We have the vectors u = <4, 8>, v = <-2, 6>.

We want to find:

u+v

This implies that:

u+v=<4,8>+<-2,6>

We add the corresponding components to get;

u+v=<4+-2,8+6>

This simplifies to:

u+v=<2,14>
